About ListWizards
ListWizards was founded by Jay Friedman and Dave Wolk. Jay is the son of a dentist who quickly realized the opportunity to help service professionals improve their online visibility after improving his father’s local Google results ranking from the second page to number one overall. Dave is the owner of a third-generation family business and has helped local business owners market themselves more efficiently for more than 30 years.
Will Consumers Find You or a Competitor Online First?
Years ago, there was one place to list your practice – the yellow pages. Today, people go online. First they search, and then they see who has positive reviews.
There are 117 online directories for consumers to choose from, and that’s just as of today. What does that mean for you as a business owner who wants to get noticed? It means time, learning how to get listed, how to improve your search engine ranking, all while still running your busy practice.
Sound daunting? You’re not alone: 78% of small business owners say they would do more online marketing – if they only had the time!
We Improve Your Local Business’ Search Ranking
ListWizards knows which online directories drive the most consumers to you, and placing you on those directories is what we do. ListWizards establishes and enhances your presence on the top sites so prospective customers find you with ease.
